The Ron Borges of the Jets' world seems to be sucking up to the Jets' base to win them back by writing a hack piece on the fact that the league investigated the Jets' offices on March 8th. To save you from clicking on the link, I will post the key points:
First Manish, who knows if the League investigated the Jets on the Pats request or possibly the fact you posted the Jets' contract offer on Twitter a full day before Revis was released. From his Twitter account a day before the Jets could legally talk to Revis:

Now that was posted a day BEFORE Revis was a free agent and he signed with the Jets for $48 million over the first three years and $39 million fully guaranteed. Either Mehta is Nostradamaus or he was fed information by the Jets. Yet he is questioning the Pats' character.
Second, Deflategate right now is a nothing more than allegation that we have no idea has any truth.
The Jets' facilities are not much closer to Manhattan than either Boston or Providence. Sure you can argue the differences between NYC and Boston or Providence, but he acts like Foxboro is in Springfield.
Silly league rule?!? You mean like crying to the league about the Pats videoing something that was in plain view to 80,000 people in the Meadowlands that day?
First, Jason Lycht, the Bucs' GM, is a Belichick disciple. He may have given the Pats' permission to speak to Revis.
Second, it was widely reported he didn't turn to the Patriots until the Jets turned him down. So another case of the Jets tampering.
Third, yes the league looks the other way on tampering, but they do punish people who do it stupidly. If the Pats tampered, they did it the way the league looks the other way. The Jets did it stupidly.

Sounds like there might be a significant punishment coming for the Jets for tampering (and no not their first rounder unless they found evidence of tampering on the 8th) and they are going on the offensive to make the story the Patriots are being petty rather than them actually tampering with with Revis.
